On her head, she wears a tricorn, a hat with three raised brims, emblematic of the 18th century, particularly prized by the Austrian aristocracy. Adorned with feathers and pearls, this tricorn, often masculine in representations of the time, is here transformed into a feminine accessory, emphasizing the status and sophisticated taste of the lady. This mixture of influences, masculine and feminine, was then a symbol of the avant-garde fashion of the European courts.
